Hi all. Sorry I've been so quiet lately. I have bronchitis. I've been ill for 3 weeks now, but it's not the kind of ill that incapacitates you, you know? It's the kind of ill that keeps me from going to the gym, keeps me from working out or going for walks. I've been working like a dog lately cuz my job usually keeps me at my desk/computer, so I haven't been too physically active there albeit a bit busier than usual. I get home and I fall into a sofa or chair and feel too beat to do anything else, even surf on my computer believe it or not.
I'm a statistic. I'm another American with no health insurance. I've had bronchitis enough times in my life to know I have it now. I could go to a doctor and they will look at me for 3 minutes and say, hey you're right... here's your prescription- and that would cost me $400 (it's happened to me before). It's really ridiculous in this country, but I guess it could be worse. I could be worse. But I am getting to the point where I'm beginning to think my body isn't strong enough to fight this off and I may have no other choice but to say hey, what's up doc. Having almost been killed by Pneumonia from a neglected bronchitis incident a few years back, I've learned I can only push this thing so far.
So in conclusion I feel like a pile of poop. Even though I'm poopy, I'll still try to stop by and say hi. I hope all of you have a good weekend.

$400 bucks shit thats wrong. If ever australias health care ends up like that ( which I think it may if things keep on going the ways they are) there will be riots in the streets.
A country should look after its people not kick them when they are down.
I really do hope you feel better very soon. Is health insurance very expensive? If not perhaps you should contemplate getting it.
cheer up poopy head.
MWAH!
